re: Favorite Live Albums

Not only my favorite live album, but likely my favorite album of all time:






(Grateful Dead - Europe 72)




I'm sure a few more will come to mind...

Foghat- Foghat Live

Had that one as well. I was a fool for the city and the album/8 track.

Edit: Have to add this one as well:
Billy Joe Shaver - Unshaven: Shaver Live At Smith's Olde Bar

This guy wrote the manual for Outlaw Country.

You are seriously channeling something. I love Billy Joe and I have seen Dale Watson sing this song about him at Smith's.

Where do you want it?

Dan Fogelberg ... My Dad tells the story about seeing him open for ZZ Top in Monroe in the mid 70's. It was in the Theatre, not the Civic Center arena and the crowd was about half bikers waiting to hear ZZ.

He said when Fogelberg came out with nothing but an acoustic guitar and a stool that a majority of the crowd starting booing and razzing him.

By the time he was finished, he got a standing ovation. Amazing talent.

I'm probably missing a Grateful Dead album or twenty. I can't match dates with locations off the top of my head on a lot of their albums. Just on the Europe 72 tour alone I would recommend the first Paris show, the last London show and shows at Newcastle, Copenhagen, and Rotterdam.

Iron Maiden - Pick any live album. The newest one for Book of Souls is awesome
Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize or Arriving Somewhere
Steven Wilson - Home Invasion
DBT - It's Great To Be Alive
QOTSA - Over the Hills and Through the Woods
Mastodon - Live at the Aragon (Play Crack The Skye through and through)
Muse - Live from Wembley
Foo Fighters - Live from Wembley
Queen - Live from Wembley
James Brown - Live from Dallas 1968
